Apparently, the router is to blame at this point. The D-Link adapter I purchased started doing the same thing as the Netgear adapater, as I described in my earlier post. So, I went to Best Buy and exchanged it for another router, so we'll see how things work tonight.
Some good news, though: I was correct in determining that the the DHCP client service had indeed been stopped. However, starting it was no easy matter. It kept telling me that it was failing to start because dependencies were failing. As I discovered, it was some remnants of Norton Antivirus remained after uninstalling it that were causeing the DHCP client service to fail to start. For more info, go here. Yet another reason to hate Norton, folks.
